Shadowed by life
Well, you never can tell
Fall down a hole
And you burn in hell
Striptease yourself
Against the wall
And watch the shadows
Begin to fall, shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall

Crazy, crazy dancing fire
Think of those days
That took you higher
Look at yourself
Through a telescope
Drowned by life
Well there’s always hope
And shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall

I don’t need those shadows
I don’t need those shadows
To fall
I don’t need those shadows
I don’t need those shadows
To fall
I don’t need those shadows

Shadowed by life
Well, you never can tell
Fall down a hole
And you burn in hell
Striptease yourself
Against the wall
And watch the shadows
Begin to fall, shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall

Crazy, crazy dancing fire
Think of those days
That took you higher
Look at yourself
Through a telescope
Drowned by life
Well there’s always hope
And shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall

I don’t need those shadows
I don’t need those shadows
To fall
I don’t need those shadows
I don’t need those shadows
To fall

I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning

Oh! this strange thing
I know I let it in
I can only blame myself
Walking on ice so thin
I want to change now
Right before your eyes
I can only pray, I have
Let it go this time

I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning

What’s locked up inside
What are the creatures in your mind

I’m in a tailspin
But I feel I’m going to win
My mind leaves my body
When you brush against my skin
I shake and I shiver
There’s a fever all the time
Digging up emotions
That lie inside my mind

I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning

Now it’s unfolding
It’s all been a dream
It’s been my place to hide

I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I’m in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning

Tailspin
Tailspin
I'm in a tailspin
I'm in a tailspin

Bruised and beaten, broken bones
Running so hard
You can never go home
You live your life
On a torture wheel
Gripped by a breeze
Of cold blue steel
When you fall to the ground
Upon your knees - testify

Sail into a sea of hell
Oh, you do it so very well
This life you lead
Will never leave you alone
Testify - testify

Down on your knees and testify

Straight from the middle
Right up to the top
Eat or be eaten by
The cream of the crop
A smell of burning
Way down in your soul
When you taught to steal
You’re never alone
When you fall to the ground
Upon your knees - testify

Fall to the ground
Upon your knees - testify
Fall to the ground
Upon your knees - testify

You’re a running man
You just can’t stand
You’re a running man
You just can’t plan
Yeah, you’re a running man
Such a running man
Running man

When you’re caught on a hook
And killing doesn’t seem such a crime
Just answer this question
If you ever do have the time
In this grand illusion
You know life can be so cruel
It eats you up
Just to leave you like a mindless fool

You’re a running man
You just can’t stand
Running man
You know you just can’t plan
Running man
You're such a running man
Running man

You’re a running man
You just can’t stand
Yeah, you’re a running man
You just can’t plan
When you're a running man
Such a running man
Running man

Running man
Running man
Yeah, running man
Running man
You're a running man
Running, running, running man
Running, running, running man

And when you think it’s not so far
I know you believe it
You wipe away just what you are
It’s you you’re deceiving

I never could believe your eyes

And when the dream turns into day
You’re lost, you’re gone, you’re far away
You will find that this time around
It’s just another dream
Search your mind and you might find
It's way out of reach

And when you think it’s not so far
I know you believe it
You wipe away just what you are
It’s you you’re deceiving

I never could believe your eyes

When you wake up in a nightmare
All the pictures that you see
Are all coming from inside you
Never believe, never believe

And when you’re walking in your sleep
Think about the people you might meet
You will that this time around
It’s just another dream
Search your mind, and you might find
It's way out of reach

And when you think it’s not so far
You wipe away just what you are
It’s you you’re deceiving

On, and on, and on
I never could believe your eyes
I never could believe your eyes
I never could believe your eyes

Don’t always seem so right inside
There’s a change and it’s
It’s, always rising

Should I laugh, should I cry
Should I just let it go
No more time to change my mind
It’s on with the show
And no more tears

Sure enough the clouds will cry
To wash away this, this mood
That I’m feeling

In the shadows cut from life
See the faces, as they roll on by

Should I laugh, should I cry
Should I just let it go
No more time to change my mind
It’s just on with the show
Just no more tears

But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life, I need a life

I’ve watched you stumble
I’ve seen you fall
I’ve picked you up
When you could only crawl
Got to realize my word’s the truth
I never thought
That I could lose

But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life, I need a life

I need your time, I need your soul
I need this temperature to go down low
Got to realize my word’s the truth
I never thought that I could lose

But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life, I need a life

I’ve watched you stumble
I’ve seen you fall
I’ve picked you up
When you could only crawl
Got to realize my word’s the truth
And I never thought that I could lose

But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life, I need a life
But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life, I need a life
And when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone

Now it’s coming clear to me
This fear is in my mind
It’s opened up a can of worms
Open up my mind

Well! curse this town
It’s just no good for me
I’m gonna leave it all behind in pieces
I’m gonna walk a line
Yeah, get right out of here
If it’s the last thing
I do I am leaving

Now it’s coming clear to me
The fear is in my mind
It’s opened up a can of worms
Open up my eyes

Now it’s coming clear to me
The fear is in my mind
It’s opened up a can of worms

Now it’s coming clear to me
The fear is in my mind
It’s opened up a can of worms
Open up my eyes

Now it’s coming clear to me
The fear is in my mind
It’s opened up a can of worms

My desire
My desire
My desire

And every time you open
Up your mouth - shut it
You’re playing around with my heart
Leaving me opened up and bleeding
You laugh at me but it’s plain to see
I’m not going to take this thing
You’re laying down on me

Why don’t you open your mind
Or, shut it - shut it, shut it
Why don’t you just shut it!

Every time I talk to you
It’s plain to see it’s always indecision
Plain as all the faces that you know
Always turn their back on you

And every time you open
Up your mouth - shut it, shut it, shut it
Shut it!
Why don’t you just shut it!

Every time you open
Up your mouth - shut it

You don’t look no fool to me
You’d live in hell for free
You’re not of this earth
You’re an evil-heart

You’re a liar, you’re a cheat
You’re a snake in the grass
Cast in gold and top of the class
You wear the truth like a disease
There’s no hole deep enough
For you to please

You don’t look no fool to me
You’d live in hell for free
You’re not of this earth
You’re an evil-heart

You’re no good it’s understood
Or you’d never leave the ones
You love to bleed
You were born in fire, been a liar
You’ve lived a life of charm
With such ease

You don’t look no fool to me
You’d live in hell for free
You’re not of this earth
You’re an evil-heart

Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil

Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No! no! no!

You’ve called on the spirits
And taken their names
You’ve paid the price
For it’s going down the drain
Told all your troubles
Bored all your friends
The cards in your pack
All wild with contempt

Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No! no! no!

You just keep guessing
This life’s undressing
And your hands keep slipping
From around all your lies

And heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No! no! no!

When you’re hit by hunger
You just don’t feel right
It’s pulling you under
Your head’s in a vice
You light a blue paper
From the power of one
Look in the mirror
See what have you done

Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No! no! no!

You just keep guessing
This life’s undressing
And your hands keep slipping
From around all your lies
All of your lies

You just keep guessing
This life’s undressing
But your hands keep slipping
From around all your lies
All of your lies

Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No!
